Gordon Falls

Gordon Falls barely revealing itself through the clouds


Gordon Falls is one of what I call the second tier Blue Mountains waterfalls. There are many of these types of waterfalls, which have limited life in its flows due to small drainages, but are quite impressive when they do flow (they're not quite as temporary as ephemeral waterfalls that last only a few days). You could spend several days or weeks trying to visit all the Blue Mountain waterfalls, but this particular waterfall was convenient to visit for us so we seized the opportunity.

When this waterfall is flowing, it has tall freefalling drops as impressive as any of the tier one waterfalls (e.g. Wentworth Falls and Katoomba Falls), but the view from its overlook is a bit awkward. It has a dedicated car park and short walk to this overlook. The car park sits just a few minutes east of the Leura Cascades area along Cliff Drive.
